Me and two friends took a day trip to the town of Guilderton which is about 100km north of Perth and situated on the river mouth of the beautiful Moore River.

I was picking my friends up to go for a day trip to a place called Moore River about 100km north of Perth, and while waiting for them these Australian black Cockatoo's landed in the tree's right near me - Lucky I had my good camera with me :)

Some general pictures of life in and around my home city of Perth

Went for a day trip to New Victoria Dam situated in the hills east of Perth.

Places I visited included Noosa, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Surfers Paradise, Springbrook National Park, Glass House Mountains, Maleny and the City of Brisbane

On a sunny Autumn's day in Perth I wasn't able to surf so I took my camera instead to the famous Cottesloe Beach.

I was down at my fav beach here in Perth on December 24th (yes my chrissy shopping was done) It was an interesting day as there was an inland fire and smoke drifting over the coast There was also a British television crew getting set up for a live cross back to england, which they do every year on Christmas day. All the tourists and ex-pats hit the beach for it, you get a great crowd and its fun to see. Forgive quality of pix as all were taken on my mobile fone :)

This is the Perth leg of the Red Bull Air Race and is held on the Swan River right in front of the city. I'm lucky enough to live very close by and only have to walk one kilometre to watch

We visited the town of York in my home state of Western Australia. Its one of the oldest towns here and is only about an 80 minute drive from the city. The old courthouse and prison is quite haunting, especially one piece of writing left by a prisoner - I have posted a picture of it - its worth reading.

This is a National Park about an hours drive north of the City of Perth
